We are soooo corrupt that we have shot ourselves in the foot. Instead of doing what they are supposed to be doing first --then chop the rest (because we all know they will chop it), they are instead looting, eating, then using the few pesewas (the bones) left ---to tackle: infrastructure, electricity, roads, schools, public toilets and to pay our doctors and nurses; and now 'some shady few' want to make it illegal for the struggling masses in Ghana to demonstrate.....Are they serious????

The state of the Nation: Gifty Andoh Appiah of Joy News TV, Ghana discusses Public lavatories in Nima, Accra in award winning film clip...

OMGoodness...... I've watched a piece about public toilets in Nima, Accra Ghana and I can't believe it.......I've never seen anything like it...........

I can't comprehend the unsanitiery public toilets shown in Gifty Andoh Appiah of Joy News TV, Ghana's award wining clip shot in Nima, Accra.....

I don't know what to say... Our people shouldn't be living like this!!!!

If the mayor of Accra is planning on phasing out public toilets -I wonder..... is the government of Ghana planning on building on more better planned, sanitised, subsiduced public toilets or are they relying on landlords to build inferior toilets????
I am beyond shocked..... Can you imagine having to walk in someone elses fecies??? This isn't on...but I'm soooo glad Ms Andoh Appiah choose to cover this topic... we can no longer sweep it under the carpet and pretend it dosen't exquist because the people using these inferior services have no power, thus have no voice.....
...... I wonder..... would something be done about these public toilets if members of Ghana's government and their families had to use them?????

Also where do the folks wash their hands after using these facilities????? And folks using newspaper, what is that????

Omgoodness...maybe I'm showing my ignorance -but I truly had no idea!!! I have wept paaapaaaa tonight.... I have truly wept..

‘Akosombo Dam in critical stage’

Minister of Energy and Petroleum, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has revealed that the Akosombo Dam is in a critical stage due to low volumes of water flowing into it this year.
He noted that this was due to the poor rainfall pattern and it would likely affect electricity supply.
Mr. Buah, who was speaking to journalists in Tamale, said unless something critical happened; the country will face a serious energy problem in 2015 and 2016.

The Minister, in Tamale as part of a three-day tour to inspect on-going rural electrification projects in the three northern regions, stressed the need for power supply and distribution companies to adopt the most cost-effective means to generate energy, including thermal and solar, while government and the citizenry used electricity responsibly to reduce the burden.

He said there was also the need for private energy producers to invest in the sector to salvage the situation.

Mr. Buah directed the Volta River Authority (VRA) and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCO) to cut-off government departments and MMDAs that failed to pay electricity bills, saying, “all departments and MMDAs must be connected to the pre-paid meters to ensure that they use energy responsibly”.

According to him, all government departments, ministries, institutions and agencies must find realistic source of funding to pay their electricity bills and that the country must adopt measures towards moving to realistic tariffs for everybody in order to meet the critical demand of the nation.

Mr. Buah noted that all government agencies had annual budgets and part of their budgets included expenditure for utilities, adding they must use such funds to pay for the electricity they consume.
On the directive from the president to ministers to pay electricity, Mr. Buah said a team had been put in place to ensure compliance and that the process had already started.—GNA

Agbobgloshie Market on fire again

Parts of the Agbobgloshie Market in Accra is currently being ravaged by fire.

The fire which started about an hour ago is yet to be put out because personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service have not been able to gain access to the area under fire.

Citi News Richard Sky who is at the scene of the fire reported that many of the structures in the market have been destroyed by the fire.

According to him the scene of the fire “is so remote and inaccessible to the extent that the Fire Service I’m told is unable to make its way to the root of this particular fire we are talking about.”

The local people are thus making efforts to douse the fire “as they are relying on their buckets, throwing sachet water into the flames in an impossible attempt to put out the flames which are causing serious damage.”

Mr. Sky also reported that the cause of the fire is unknown but in an interview, some of the locals recalled that “the lights were out but they only got to know that the lights had come back and as a result, they heard that fire was whizzing through their homes…so they are trying to do a connection between the power outage and the power that was turned on subsequently.”

He added that the fire service personnel are “doing everything to see if they can get around the structures to enter the area under fire.”
